Tomb Tree Takeover

February 28, 2024 by David Norman

First things first, support if you can, even if it’s just sharing this link. This is a member of Olth’s sister. Wishing them the absolute best in their recovery. <3 <3 <3 Click on the pic below or this text to go to the Go Fund Me page.

So we’re flipping the script with this post, as Tomb Tree is apparently taking over, but first we’ve got the new Softseed Music release at the (almost) top with solo project extraordiniare Garry Brents. You might know him from oooooohhhhh I don’t know maybe Cara Neir? Gonemage? Homeskin? Sallow Moth? The list goes on. This is his first foray into electronic/break-beat music and it’s fucking glorious. Check that shit out and pick up a super limited tape /23 below from the label or bundle one with a ZBR/Tomb Tree order directly from this store via this link.

Mis sueños son de tu adiós released their limited cassette /31 on Tomb Tree yesterday. Super shrieky emo-violence from Argentina, featuring all 2022 and 2023 tracks with a bonus full b-side of live jams!!!

Colacon released their “Gails of Contempt” teaser earlier this week and it should entice many to check out the full video that releases on Friday with the full 12”LP following in early May. Their release show is also the ZBR Fest 2024 pre-show! Woot woot!!!

The first single from the self-titled Solvalou EP premiered recently on Idioteq.com and they had some wonderful things to say about “Our Home Breathes”. The rest of the debut comes out on March 5th, 2024 via Tomb Tree. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full post.

Horseboy got some much deserved love from Machine Music. That EP is still jammed daily over here and was put on tape by none other than Tomb Tree. Click on this text or the pic above for the review and list of other releases that they enjoyed, and/or listen/buy below!

Tomb Tree’s Volp got some love from Score AV and somehow we have a handful of tapes left. If you like your hardcore metallic or your metal hardcore-ish…you’ll love this. For fans of The Minor Times, Engineer, etc. Click on the pic above or this text to read, jam/buy below.

Oh yeah this is Zegema Beach, isn’t it? We’re pretty fackin’ busy too, planning the fest and puttin’ in all those new releases (Niboowin, Terry Green, Burial Etiquette, Gossip, Widowdusk, etc.). But a friendly reminder that the Gxllium! x Onewaymirror split cd came and went in about 15 minutes, and you should definitely jam that shit. Then maybe you’ll be ready for the 7” drop later :) The release also made it onto Brooklyn Vegan’s New Songs Out Today section (and was used as the thumbnail) so you can check out that list by clicking on this text.

CanaDave spoke with Jason of Inosuke, Locktender, and Men As Trees. Lotsa Level Plane and Interpunk talk, holy 2007!!! Click on this text for the full post or listen to it above and jam/buy the Inosuke 12”LP below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VIVA BELGRADO = Oh shit there’s a new album! Yeeeessssss. Gorgeous Spanish post-hardcore/rock/screamo <3

2024 - 02 - 10 /// Edhochuli is Monday, Volp out, Pettersson pre-order!

February 10, 2024 by David Norman

Edhochuli drops on Monday! The three labels each have their own variant but I do believe each label will have a few complete sets available for purchase if variant collecting is your thing. We’ll get promos out just before drop on Monday!!!

A quick reminder that Pettersson 12”LP pre-orders released the other day for ‘Ashen Plain’! We’ll only have 30 copies so that’s a hard recommendation from both Daves to snag one. Operation X-Ray also played a track from it on their radio show, so if you’re looking for new bands to find you’ll hear like 40+ bands!

While you wait for the Edhochuli 12” you’d be silly to not check out Volp from France who released ‘Vortex’ this past week on Tomb Tree. Fans of The Minor Times, Anna Sage, and Horsewhip will eat this shit up, it’s amazing! Everything Is Noise somehow missed out label making the tapes, but you can check that out by clicking on this text.

La Parade’s ‘Voces del Exilio’ cd/12”LP is officially a decade old! Holy crap, I remember showing this to my cousin’s partner before it was released and prior to ZBR even being known to the public. It’s an amazing mixture of Standstill, Viva Belgrado, and Envy. We still got a handful of 12”s!!!

Here’s the final ZBR Fest 2024 poster! The pre-show and the full fest shall be very well attended according to ticket sales, so if you’re thinking of coming don’t wait too long! Click on the poster above or this text to snag some tickets.

This Noise Is Ours continued their ZBR Roster Review series with No Heirloom’s self-titled 7” lathe. We have a handful left including the last few clear! Go to the review by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below.

Angry Metal Guy gave Closet Witch some love! Speaking of love, in case you didn’t hear Closet Witch is on a hiatus because they have a baby on the way! Talk about the best reason for a hiatus ever. Congratulations to the band but especially Mollie and Cory <3 <3 <3 Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam/buy below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: METH. = This entire thing was played live at ZBR Fest 2023, so hearing it from the comfort of my own home is both amazing and fucking terrifying. See them at ZBR Fest 2024’s pre-show!

2024 - 02 - 05 /// ZBR Fest pre-show + single day tickets!

February 05, 2024 by David Norman

ZBR Fest pre-show bands released and tickets for it (as well as single-day tickets for the full fest, linked in the picture below). Good lord I’m so excited! Click on this text to snag the pre-show tickets.

Pettersson has a pre-order and two songs premiering this Wednesday February 8th! We’ll only have 30 copies for North America and the album is incredible, so I don’t expect we’ll have them around for long. Full release is in March, but you can jam the Zampler song premiere from last summer below.

Volp’s ‘Vortex’ releases tomorrow Tuesday February 6th but you can jam two songs now! Full spread above! Fans of The Minor Times, Engineer, Ken Mode, and Horsewhip will adore.

CanaDave got back to the Out Past the Rings and did one for Boneflower’s ‘A(r)mour’ cassette. Check it out above, snag the last two copies of the tape (one linked here) and the other is on the Bandcamp, linked below.

US Dave filmed/edited this new Frail Body music video along with our resident ZBR Fest film crew Wyatt. New album soon.

Operation X-Ray played some heaters on their radio show including Tristan Tzara and Nuvolascura!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SWEETHEART = This Ohio band unearthed an album and a 12-minute song that were released just a few days back! Hell to the yes!!!

2024 - 02 - 02 /// Tristan Tzara releases, Volp next, Telos on sale :(

February 02, 2024 by David Norman

Tristan Tzara’s ‘discography’ released two days ago with the mages and tacos immediately selling out, with the random color following (as we currently have 4 left), with black dwindling after that and a handful of metallic reds that should be in stock at least until summer. So if you’re picky I wouldn’t wait, but if metallic red is your game there’s no massive rush <3 Remember European friends can order from Dog Knights and Voice Of The Unheard. Shove Records in Italy will also get at least 10 copies in the near future.

Telos released an truly incredible album…then they broke up. Absolutely gutted. We’ve put the tapes on sale for the next week in case you want to pick one up, as we won’t be making more!

TELOS - Delude (cassette)

from CA$12.50

TELOS ‘Delude’ cassette LP (TT079)

For fans of: Hexis, Rotting In Dirt, Malevich, and I Am A Curse.

Denmark’s finest blackened hardcore/metal supergroup have released their finest work to date, as this LP is absolutely sensational. Simultaneously epic, destructive, and forward-thinking, these 8 tracks span more than most bands in any of the aforementioned genres. Definitely in line for one of the best of 2023.

Tapes /36, 20 on grey swirl, 10 on broken gold swirl, 3 on grey, and 3 test dips, all w/jcard. 8 songs.

Listen here:

Horseboy tapes are being finished up with stamping today and will 100% be ready to ship in both stores on it’s February 20th release on Tomb Tree. Check out CanaDave’s interview with Matt Perrin of said band, Big Water, Joust, Leg Yield, etc. by clicking on the pic above, this text, or just listen away down below.

Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow got a shoutout in the January’s Last of the Month by Borderline Fuckup. We’ve moved through a fair amount of these babies and once they sell out we won’t be repressing anytime soon…cuz it’s just an internet project. T.J. McSnaggerson the III (jr.)!!! Click on this text or the pic above to go to the entire article.

And finally, This Noise Is Ours did a nice piece on the People’s Temple Project + Sleeper Wave split 12” via their ZBR Roster Review series. Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam that shit below. We might even have one copy left!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: COMA REGALIA = This new album just came out today! Geeeeeeeet it!
